Dhaka, June 13 -- The city's kitchen markets remained mostly dull in the last week due to holidays on the occasion of Eid-ul-Azha.

Not only many of the grocery shops remained shut since the Eid day, but also the customers' turnout was considerably lower for the last few days, trading sources said.
